Hi going by what I can see it looks like Cyanobacteria, I've read somewhere that the colour can range from olive green to red.

Cyano is a type of bacteria which can form because of low flow, phosphates & nitrate. I'm sure their is more reasons for it but they're the ones I can think of.

One snail dying would not cause that much outbreak.You need to cut back feeding and light cycle and allow it to burn itself out.

Mine had Lil bit of that and I believe it was caused from over feeding
