Yup.   Dying corals can release really bad stuff in a tank.  I would recommend getting some carbon running on the system, and a water change would not hurt.

I noticed your previous post where you said you rinsed your live rock off in hot water to kill your aptasia. That may have caused some die off triggering the bad smell. That plus dying coral would likely do it.
