Do RCS eat hair/thread algae or any other algae?

What about the snowball/yellow/blue pearl shrimp (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155038&highlight=h3d) - do they also eat the same types? I understand that they are a Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensi, which is closely related to the RCS (and can interbreed), so I'm wondering if their diet is the same?
