That looks like fungi. Fruit fly and gnat eggs are not generally visible to the eye

Okay, I put her in chunkier soil. I barely water her as is. Lol.

Its something that's in the soil, and it spores very easily. Its not harmful, so you can just wait for it to die off, or treat with fungicide that was recommend below

That might be flowerpot parasol

The light going into the clear pot helps it grow. Treat with a commercial fungicide to help remove it. But, it really doesn’t harm your plant.

Yeah, the plant is fine. its in a decorative pot so its not even getting light. I think its just too moist in there even though I don't water it that often.
