  abstract = {{A}ssembly rules of fish communities in {T}uamotu {A}rchipelago lagoons have been previously investigated but without considering lagoons where shallow habitats are dominated by giant clam populations. {W}e tested if assembly rules for 14 atolls were challenged by such an atoll ({F}angatau), and in doing so investigated the robustness of inter-island population patterns to specialized habitats. {F}angatau had significantly higher proportions of {P}omacentridae and {S}caridae, but lower proportions of {L}abridae, {A}canthuridae, {B}alistidae and {S}erranidae. {F}unctionally, herbivores, omnivores, species <7cm or between 50 and 80cm, and species forming schools were found in higher proportions, while sessile invertebrate feeders, medium-size species (30-50cm) and solitary species were lower. {T}hese differences were rather related to {F}angatau isolation, as no other physical or ecological feature could explain them. {T}otal richness, functional richness, and functional redundancy remained correlated mainly to atoll size, without outliers related to high clam abundance and presence of peculiar habitats.},
