What is this?

My guess is that it is feces of a giant bug/larva/worm. The ball measures 5-7 mm across and it seems to be mainly composed of dead moss judging by the color of it. Furthrmore, the plant is growing wuite healthy and no sign of root rot or roots getting eaten by this bug. This ball ussually shows up in the morning, 2-3 at a time, so I assume the bug is active at night time. I only notice fungus gnats but nthing big flying around. Its a scary tought because I hate to see giant worm dwelling on my favorite phals.

Can anyone help me ID this thing and how to solve this problem? thanks.
