Your cleaning crew should get it. If you want you could take a vacuum and suck it up but try not to disturb the sand too much. I would just leave it be and let the snails take care of it.

Being that your tank is SO new... you really can't do alot about it. If you use a gravel vac, it will remove water AND the sand. Just leave it be. In a week or so when you get your critters they will take care of it for you.
