The white things are parasitic copepods each with dual oval egg sacs.

Wow that goby has a lot of them.

Poor baby. I've never seen a goby so festooned with copepods. The eggs are in different stages of development. My guess is that the "shrimp" is just an empty egg casing that's curled upwards.

WOW! thx you for all the answer!

now i know what it is
