Thanks for the reply. it appears to almost grow into the leaf. You can scrape the top of it off but it wont all peel off. Almost feels like sap. Ethan.

Even though I can't view your image, I doubt they're gnat eggs. We're a bit picky -- at least, I am -- we don't want to see a picture your stuff "looks like" but we want to see images of "your* stuff.

Hi, Raquel! Please don't put worm castings or vermiculite in the pot of any plant. Worm castings = too muddy. Vermiculite collapses under the slightest pressure when wet. Vermiculite can be handy for starting seeds, but isn't suitable for a more long-term planting. Both castings & vermiculite will cause the soil to have insufficient oxygen, inviting root rot (overwatering.) Roots need oxygen & moisture at the same time to function and stay healthy. Look for something that is much more chunky/fluffy/airy/porous, so roots won't rot. Unglazed clay pots can help enormously if you are prone to "overwatering" plants.
