hermie101 says the tank has been cleaned out and new sand put in. Therefore, the smell couldn't be coming from a dead crab.

This is tough. When you put the new sand in, did it still smell? If not, it might be something you have in there. The only thing I can think of is that one of the items in the tank may be causing the smell. If you took a couple of things at a time out for a few days, and put them in another room, that may help you pin-point the smell.

Either that, or you're going to have to put a clothes pin on your nose.
