Generally, no. Green algae and cyanobactieria (formerly known as blue green algae) are autotrophs, and are photosynthetic. Detritus is organic material that has been degraded physically or chemically. Detritivores are animals that consume detritus. A good example of a detritivore is a shrimp in a salt marsh. Cordgrass breaks down into detritus, and many species of shrimp consume that material.
