@ElderWasabi sometimes perlite will break down and become smaller just by sheer movement. I would remove the top layer of soil, or if you’re concerned with your plant’s health, completely repot in fresh new soil.
This is what my potting mix looks like and as you can see, there’s both smaller and bigger pieces of perlite.
Your soil, however doesn’t look like it has much perlite in it so I would check what they are.
You can grab a glove and inspect the white specs. If you crush them and they disintegrate, then it’s perlite. If they do something else, it’s most likely eggs and I would suggest repotting!
Good luck! 🤞🏽🌿✨

Drew...I sprayed the top of the soil and a little mist on the plant. I put a little squirt of Dawn in a spray bottle.
