Pictures are a bit fuzzy but what I can see, and from what you've said, I'm thinking this is red turf algae. Long story short: get a number of Mexican turbo snails.

I've never heard of an Australian turbo so don't know if that's the same species or not. The articles about it seem to specifically go out of their way to label the turbos snails that eat this stuff as "Mexican". Having said that, I thought all turbo snails came from Mexico and area anyhow. If you see turbo snails offered just ask where they came from.
Failing that I'm pretty sure you can order them from J&L. Seeing your pictures, you don't exactly want 1 or 2 here, you want something like maybe minimum 20 or thereabouts, which surely is on the verge of justifying the mail-order shipping expense. Or see if anyone wants to go in on a group order with you, or see if there's one already going on that you can piggyback onto..
