i have a 11"-12" red devil that i acquired from someone that was moving and i need to do a deep cleaning of the sand and plastic trim, but i cannot get my hands in the tank. can i move him into a rubber maid container for 30-60 mins? or will that be too much stress? the tank has a strong odor and i think its build up on/under the trim and the sand. he tries to attack me even when i wipe down the top of the lids or outside glass!!

Well, it would be better if you could use a divider to restrict him to one half of the tank while you clean the other, and then swap...but no, it won't hurt him. He won't be happy about it, but he'll be fine.
