I've read that ghost shrimp sometimes do, but I don't know about cherries.

I would say maybe! I depends on the eggs and where they are.

Although renowned for eating algae most shrimp are also general scavengers and tend to eat most things they find in the tank. I have seen my shrimp eating food meant for other fish and looking for Harlequin eggs on the underside of leaves after they have been breeding. If you have fish that scatter their eggs or lay them on plants I would say there is a good chance of them being eaten. If the fish guard the eggs or lay them somewhere hard to get to then they will probably be ok.

My cherries crawl all over and around my Plec eggs, the plec just ignores them
