are there cordless, battery powered, powerheads for cleaning corals?

It would be nice if there was some kind of handheld powerhead, where you hold the trigger, and it blows out like a garden hose handle. Then we would not get sore wrists from squeezing bulbs, or dragging a corded powerhead with extension cord. Does it exist?

I don't think it exists but you can get a cheap pump, hose and a shower thing that's on the garden hoses. That can withstand pressure and you can change the strength and you can stop it.

$10 on Amazon (“submarine motor”). Made by Tamiya. Apparently it turns on and off by twisting the case.

If you have some electronic skills I’m sure you could hack one apart and rig it with a waterproof switch/battery. Myself, I’m sticking with the $1 solution.

I have an old small power head that I use along with the handy dandy turkey baster

Maybe but depends on how much coral you have, it takes a long time.

Plug the powerhead into a power strip and use the button as the power off/power off.
