Re: the plot thickens!!! Now what??
Sounds like a reasonable presumption that those were eggs. If you want little shrimplings around, you probably want to avoid vacuuming, presuming there are at least two Ghost Shrimp in the tank (one to provide eggs and one to fertilize them). If you don't have two, I'm pretty sure there's no point. I don't think shrimp can reproduce asexually. (Of course, nobody thought that komodo dragons could reproduce asexually, but they were wrong about that).
Some shrimp just scatter their eggs around, rather than attaching them to plants or rocks. You can do water changes, though, just don't vacuum the gravel.
Presuming you do have any shrimp larva, they need to be protected from everything in the tank, including mom and dad. Apparently, Amano shrimp breeders have had some success by keeping the lights off in the aquarium for a couple of weeks, until the larva get large enough to not be eaten by the parents. Since Ghost Shrimp are clear like Amano Shrimp, this might work. Can't promise this will work if you have fish, particularly nocturnal ones, like cories. Otherwise, yes, you need to figure out a way to separate the youngsters out. It would be easier to move the adults, or you could put a tank divider in and just hope that most of the larva end up on the "not mom and dad" side of the barrier.
