Yes. All crabs have blue blood, not just the species known as the blue crab.
The reason for the blue blood is that crabs do not have haemoglobin, which is found in the blood of vertebrates, and which is red due to the iron molecule in the centre of the protein. Instead, crabs have a protein called hemocyanin, which contains a copper molecule. This is particularly pronounced in the horseshoe crab, the blood of which is a stronger blue than other species.
