Do you have a baster or some way of siphoning it out? If it is poop I wouldn't want to leave it in there. I'd try to figure out it's source for sure.

That is some serious poop...if that is what it is? I would get it out what ever it is. I have had numerous sea cucumbers and that is a serious dump.

Leave it alone. That is cuke poop, but not in the sense of it being waste. It's really purified sand in pellet form. The cuke passes the sand through his body and removes ditrius and organics and passes the clean sand. That little pile is probubly the cleanest sand in your tank.
