Moss won't hurt the tulips, though what you may actually have is liverwort which for some odd reason loves to grow over the surface of potting soil, and also likes sunlight a lot more than most mosses. I don't think it can keep tulips from poking through & I think it can be kind of pretty, but a really good "surfacing" of liverwort (unlike moss) can become a water barrier as it's kind of plasticky, and it can smother seedlings though not likely bulbs. If it's really a moss the bright-sun mosses tend to be teeny-tiny and will grow on the sides of pouris pots making them look hundreds of years old which is pretty cool, though depending on one's taste I suppose it could look green & slimy to some folks.

No, the moss won't hurt your tulips. Just continue doing what you have done (dig out the moss) if you don't like it.
