No. Algae is the name of living water plants, many of them individually microscopic. Some are free-floating, while others attach themselves to solid objects, including rocks and ships. The most familiar forms of algae are the greenish slime that forms inside aquarium tanks, or on the walls of Swimming Pools.
The largest species of algae are kelp and other seaweeds.
They are scavengers and will eat the decaying/dead plants, dead animals (such as a dead fish) and algae. They keep the water nice and clean and the water quality up.
A decaying dead body
they eat decaying plants or algae...
Dead or decaying matter is important for nutrient cycling in ecosystems. It is broken down by decomposers like bacteria and fungi, releasing nutrients back into the soil for plants to use. This process is crucial for sustaining the health and productivity of ecosystems.
Only fungi feed on dead or decaying matter.
Millipedes are detritivores, meaning they primarily feed on decaying plant material such as leaves, wood, and dead organic matter. They also consume fungi and algae. Millipedes play a valuable role in the ecosystem by assisting in the breakdown of organic matter into nutrient-rich soil.

In the wild, prawns eat plankton, microscopic organisms that live in the water and include krill, algae, copepods and zooplankton. Prawns are scavengers, also feeding on decaying animal and plant matter.
