my yellow-tail blue damsel is laying a load of eggs?

This is bizarre, for the past past 30 minutes my yellowtail blue damsel is just go back and forth near the powerhead excreting a lot of white stuff. It is coming out of the belly area, so I am guessing it is eggs.

1) Is making the water cloudy, should I clean them off?

2) Is this "normal"?...its the only damsel in the tank, so its not like they are going to fertilized.

I will post a photo when she is done. BUT, it is a lot of stuff for a tiny fish.
 
It is not eggs. Yellow-tail Blue damsels, Chrysiptera parasema, attach teir eggs to a surface. Mine always attach the eggs to the glass.
 
Attached is the photo.

BTW, 3 days have past since she has laid those "eggs". And now she seems to be eating them as most are gone. The ones that are falling off are being eaten by clownfish or going through the filter system.

Of all places, just seems weird she would pick the glass where the powerhead is.
