Given the structure of the X-Trans CFA I can imagine that you're looking at demosaicing artifacts in the squarish pattern that you're seeing. X-Trans is more prone to artifacts in the demosacing process than a Bayer array, but you must understand that all demosaicing of CFAs produces artifacts -- no option exists not to do that and at 527.3% magnification no option exists not to see them. Just remember that at 527.3% magnification you may also be seeing artifacts created by the software enlarging your image to that size and/or an interaction between those artifacts and the demosaicing artifacts that you can no longer really see because of that interaction.  :)

 

Look at the photo on screen at 100% magnification. Does it look OK?

I was facing the same problem. The worms doesn't bother me that much because they were only visible in a huge magnification. But the skin color was awful. I bought a Colorchecker and did some test shots of different light-situations. Since then you can choose the profile which matches the situation of your photo in Lightroom.

After some months with the X-T20, I work mostly with one profile (matches the most situations).

Switching from a bayer to an x-trans sensor got me in this situation too. I tought there was something wrong , especially with my high iso images. I found that sharpening without using the 'detail' slider too much is the key. I rarely go up 10 on it. And I still get sharpen the image pretty good. When you open a raf files in lightroom or camera raw the slider is by default at 25 so it's more noticeable. And, most important, I got myself to stopped doing extreme ''pixel peeping'' :D Now I'm pretty happy with my pictures!
