The present review briefly summarizes the results of the studies on coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific conducted by the authors and their colleagues who participated in joint publications and research since the late 1970s until recently. Experimental field and laboratory-based works were carried out during expeditions aboard the R/V Kallisto and R/V Akademik Aleksandr Nesmeyanov, as well as at marine biological stations in Japan, China, Vietnam, and Israel. The main goal of these studies was to obtain data on the variety and mechanisms of symbiotic relationships that are established between a host animal and its intracellular symbionts when the host carries out its most important life functions.
