Holy Shrimp!

Maybe try turning the filter up a bit as well, how bigs the tank?

Turn the filter off for a few minutes and let them settle against the glass. Then they can be wiped up with a sponge or syphoned out with some tubing.
Remember to turn the filter back on afterwards. Any remaining eggs will eventually break down. If there are lots of eggs rotting in the water they may create an ammonia spike. Check your water quality and if this happens do a water change.
