Yes, pictures would be preferred. I've been thinking about this off an on and other algae types have come to mind. However, the next one that sounds close likes a lot of strong light. I have some that bothers the pond in the spring before the plants take over (or if I forget to put barley straw in). It too can be swirled off with a toothbrush, although that won't get all of it off because the "base" of the algae is slimey and grows thick.
Water wisteria is quite common in the aquaria hobby. I don't think you will have a hard time finding it in pet stores- and beck is right, you can find cheeper ways of getting some from the forums. I got mine by trading in some of my fancy F2 guppies for credit at a small local petstore. He gave me a huge bag full of the stuff... enough to cover the water surface of three of my tanks.

I've never minded the snails- I find them facinatinating to watch. Often times I would bring in some really big pond snails from my garden pond to populate my tanks. The shrimp would go through them like candy... but the bigger ones stayed closer to the surface of the water where the shrimp were less likely to go.
