Detritus, mud, plankton, phytoplankton, and soft-bodied invertebrates are what ragworms eat.

Specifically, the ragworm (Nereididae family) has many legs with which to move through mud in search of dead and live animals and plants. It has strong jaws with which to prey upon invertebrates. It has an undulating body with which to turn water into turbulent currents which direct phytoplankton into the ragworm's sticky net spun at the top of its burrow.

Yes, ragworms primarily feed on organic matter and detritus found in mud and sand, rather than algae. They are opportunistic feeders, consuming a variety of small invertebrates and organic debris in their environment.
