Auxiniidae is a family of sea slugs, specifically a type of marine gastropod mollusk. They are classified within the order Carpenteriida, and are primarily found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region.

Auxiniidae sea slugs are characterized by their elongated bodies, which are typically covered in soft, fragile skin. They have a distinct distribution pattern, with a long, narrow foot and a parapodial (or supplementary) side. The lacks a prenacular, or sepal, which is generally found in other types of sea slugs.

Notable species within the Auxiniidae family include A. crassus and A. orophena, which have been identified as representatives of this distinct lineage. Conversely, certain species have been controversial and are actually considered part of different species altogether.

Key features of Auxiniidae sea slugs include their bottom-dwelling habits, feeding primarily on biofilm and other forms of algae, providing important insights into trophic roles and coral reef processes within tropical marine ecosystems.

The specific impact of the Auxiniidae family's activities in terms of reef function and biodiversity is under ongoing scientific research.

In spite of such recent advances, the ongoing exploration of the complex ecological and evolutionary exCommunications of the Auxiniidae remains an integral component in the pursuit of expanded knowledge and perceptions of shallow tropical ecosystems.
