Dungeon Magazine #91 has a monstrous crab. It is size Small, though.
The sand hulk in CC3 is a Gargantuan crablike creature.
You could also probably use the monstrous spiders as a base creature, remove their poison and web abilities, make them aquatic and amphibious, raise natural armor a bit, and give them the improved grab and constrict abilities of the chuul to get a workable crab.

FWIW, this is a conversion of the OD&D giant crab that I came across today as I was digging up the conversion information I had for X4. It's definitely the little brother of the monstrous crab that Shade linked to, but might prove useful.
