Abstract
    Although the presence of the reef building polychaete Ficopomatus enigmaticus (a neozoon) in the Black Sea has long been known to marine biologists, up to now no one has performed a detailed analysis of the macrozoobenthic community established within Ficopomatus reefs. As a contibution to the knowledge of the ecological role of this neozoon, this paper aims to demostrate that, although restricted in range, the Ficopomatus community has a clearly distinct individuality. We conducted a comparative analysis of both taxonomic structure and functional feeding structure of two types of macrozoobenthic community (Ficopomatus –dominated vs. Mytilus-dominated).
