The Corallovexiidae are a family of strictly marine parasitic copepods associated with corals and, together with members of the family Asterocheridae, dominate their ecological niche in the West Indies; in the Indo-Pacific, they are replaced by the families Lichomolgidae and Xarifiidae. The family contains two genera and at least 10 species, all described by Jan Hendrik Stock in 1975. After the 10 known and described species, there were three unknown species found in the Labrador Sea and one more found in the Curaçao.
