Algae use photosynthesis to generate their own sugars [food] using sunlight as energy. Water and Carbon dioxide [CO2] are the raw ingredients and are found in plenty supply. So for the most part it does not "eat".

It does absorb water, trace nutrients, and minerals through it's membrane [skin] via osmosis, but that is not it's energy source.
