Is there something on Atlas Prime worth getting to that the evil atmosphere biognome frustrates the attempt to get to the planet surface?

There is no surface. Ever heard of a gas giant?

So, there is nothing down there worth descending?

It should have a core but you'd be crushed by gravity long before reaching it

If there is anything, it should show up either as a blue dot or a purple dot on radar.

If you count all the asteroids those things absorb, it would be nearly impossible for it not to have a solid core

.
But technically they don't need a core to exist.

As far as I know, gas giants are formed around a solid core.

Edit : check this
