The volcano keyhole limpet Fissurella volcano (Reeve 1849) is a prosobranch gastropod of the family Fissurellidae. It is found from northern California through the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico, attaching to rocks of the tidal zone, where it feeds mainly on benthic microalgae, although it may also browse on macroalgal fronds (Hobday 1995).
