Just leave it alone. These are pretty common in new tanks, but they usually run their course given time. No worries.

I had a few jellies in my tank when it was new - I thought it was wickedly cool but didn't try (for very long) to keep them. I sucked out almost 30 of them and then that was it for polyps. Nada mas.

You could always siphon it out and get rid of it if you want. I doubt it's the infamous box jelly though. Just be careful.
