I have this white algae growing under my rocks, not sure if it’s pest or a welcome growth. My goby loves it. Any tips? Update: I think I have a male or the “fertilizer” protecting their eggs. How do I raise these?

I can’t see anything from the pictures. Do you have a better angle shot?

In the middle of the rocks, he’s always blocking them that’s the best shot I can get

Yeah a quick Google image search seems to confirm that they're goby eggs.
That's awesome!
