Could anyone tell me if there is an algae eater that will live in an African
Cichlid tank?

Neritina natalensis: hardwater algae eaters, suitable for hostile
environments.

Many cichlids from the african lakes are algae eater. For example, the
Tropheus species from Tanganyika eats only algae.

The Ancistrus "bristlenose" sp. do well with African cichlids. Even though they
are from South America water chemistry is not critical as long as the water is
of good quality.

Good luck.

The bristlnose catfish (Ancistrus sp.) do well in African cichlid tanks
provided the water quality is good.
