Do you mean, "Do shrimp eat algae?"

If that is your question then yes, many shrimp both saltwater and freshwater eat algae. The most famous algae eating shrimp in the Aquarium trade is the Amano Shrimp. I have several in my tank because the spend their time doing nothing but going from spot to spot shoveling algae in their mouths.

Another good freshwater shrimp that eat algae are Red Cherry Shrimp. They are also particularly easy to breed as well.
