hi I have bought a fukien tea (indoor) recently.. and I face a little pest problem right now. I started out by watching how much water the tree needed.at first I let it dry quite much to the point that leaves were falling...I read some posts and I started watering the tree with more water. then everything went perfect...within a week white flowers started popping!But now I spotted one very thin and small roundlike worm in the soil about 2cm long.I took it out for some pics and I noticed that although transparent...there was like something dark.brownish inside its body(not the entire body though!).
what should I do? why was it there on the first place??how do I keep those away?
pics included

by the way, the head I think is on the left where the 2 spots form something like the 2 eyes.I guess it s the eyes.
well to be honest..as I ve been doing some research...before seeing this little worm thing...I noticed a flying object which as I identified is Fungus gnat. Could it possibly be one of its eggs that grew??! just right now I noticed another one flying around my tree! I guess my tree is a nice meal for it!
if I change it place,will it make things easier? or should I use insecticides at this early stage?
Secondly, after taking a closer look at the leafs I noticed some marks on a few of them and I cut them down. NO sign of bugs whatsoever.. I don t know if the previous guy where I bought it used any kind of pesticide to get rid of any pests but this is what I see now. (see pictures)

Do you think this is any kind of disease?should I do something about it?
