abstract={Described solitary corals collected of the shelf Vietnam when deep-water drilling on the R/V "Akademik Oparin". In general were identified 22 species, 13 genera attributed to the 6 families. One species were not previously known to science, 14 species not previously known for Vietnam. Most massive settlements have formed two species <i>Flabellum pavonium</i> (21spec. in samples) and <i>Tropidocyathus longiseptum </i>sp.nov (23 spec. in samples). Most taxonomically rich coral genera were <i>Flabellum</i> and <i>Truncatoflabellum</i>. The high density of corals noted at stations with depths 136 and 180 m, the greatest variety at a depth of 120-136 m. Deep water corals in Vietnam (54 species) are integral with the coral fauna of the Indo-Polynesian Province. These data complement the general characteristics of the knowledge of the composition, morphology and chorology world fauna solitary ahermatypic coral.},
