True that will protect the filter but won't solve the issue.
also what ever you put over the intake will get clogged as well in time.

The problem is the intake tube is too long.
I will bet that there are two segments and the intake guard.

I would take out one of the segments to shorten the intake tube.
So the intake is not so close to the sand.

and if there isn't a way to shorten the intake tube you can adjust the flow on the intake to a lower flow
and would set it to the lowest setting so the moving water doesn't stress out the frog.
