So one of my bristlenose plecos decided that the pre-skimmer box of my hang on the back skimmer was a good place to spawn. I pulled it off today to clean it off and noticed this mass on the intake.

Since removing the clean-out the pleco has been removed from the skimmer box and the eggs have been consumed by the rest of the fish as I don't have any other protected areas in the tank for it to go. But I think i'm going to have to make a few small caves in the tank for future possible spawns.
