%X We study structureless reefs of the mainland and island coastlines of
Vietnam. It is shown that this type of reefs has stable species composition and
community structure, like in similar bionomic zones in conventional reefs. They
are characterized by high species diversity, including more than a third of all
reef-building scleractinian of the Pacific. Non-structural reefs are
characterized by the same trophic relations of the inner and outer parts of the
reef, from the standpoint of a clear scheme of bionomic zoning on reefs
throughout the Indo-Pacific in general.
