Does anyone know what this could be? It seems to pulse when there’s flow in the water.

That’s what I was afraid of. I just added a mushroom covered rock to my tank and these floated off the rock.
 
take rock out ,swish in SW,
have not seen these in years , are a free swimming type of aip.
net any you can ,and remove.
 
googled, Boloceroides mcmurrichii.

Well, that doesn’t sound good! I was able to catch them from my tank but I’m sure I didn’t get all of them. Do you have any idea what might eat them?
 
anything that typically eats aip,
there is an upside to them ,they tend to move around ,end up on glass in morn,
also easy to blow off rock w turkey baster,and then suck up to remove.
quite different from everyday aip.

This sounds amazing! Ive never heard of these before. I would totally do a nano species tank to watch these things hop around the tank lol.

they "swim" in pulses like jellyfish...
 
They are a type of hermaphroditic anemone that quickly spawns. You should be able to remove by siphoning or else if many, a BLUE head kleini butterfly will eat them like candy and then eat all frozen and dry food you offer
I must emphasize, there is an all yellow version, get the blue one as shown which will bother NO coral
