Erosion on stones - red - OK for fish?

Hi all and thanks for an amazing board!

One of our large stones on our liner has slowly developed some eroded spots where water sits after rain - and this year, it has turned really red.

Apologies for my ignorance - is this the iron in the stone/rock? Is there potential for harm to the goldfish in the pond (it's relatively small but don't know exact dimensions)? I think it's shallow enough that fish "shouldn't" overwinter but they do just fine - usually about 20-40 goldfish each year.

Thought I'd start here to get a bit of education about what it is/implications.

Thanks!
