That is a spider mite infection as far as I can tell. Are there also tiny web-like structures on the plant?

Go to a garden centre or hardware store and get a spray against spider mite. Then find out how to keep your tree healthy. This is typical for an unhealthy plant, normally because of dry air.

I add water to the humidity tray and have river rocks in it to keep the pot high. Do you not think this is sufficient enough? Also, I try to keep soil moist so I'm not sure why this would happen from dryness.

I cannot see where you have the plant. A heated living room may easily reach a humidity of <40%. Outside you often have 70-80% humidity..
