The "smell" is in the tank but all my hermies that are currently up aren't dead.
I have 6 down and any of them could be molting.
Crossing my fingers its not Shelby (sorry other crabs...)
I didn't know where else to put this. If it's wrong feel feel to move it

First, check the surface thoroughly for hidden, rotting food. It's more likely that's what you're smelling. I think it's unlikely you'd be able to smell a crab buried under all that substrate. If you don't find anything on the surface I still wouldn't recommend digging with 6 crabs down. If there is a buried dead crab, it won't hurt anything to wait. Good luck! I hope it's just a nasty bit of food they hid somewhere.

I've had 4 pass while molting and never knew. It really probably is some stashed food! Little hoarders!
