It's behind the front and rear lens element. When looking down the barrel moving from side to side it reflects light, very bright. It's about the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen. Just got this from bh photo, should I send it back? Any idea what it could be?

Well decided to send it back. Can't justify keeping a brand new 1k lens with a reflective peice of metal inside the lens element. Thanks for the replies lol.
