Some animals (like horseshoe crabs) have blue blood because they use hemocyanin carry oxygen to their tissues instead hemoglobin like we do. The copper in the hemocyanin makes their blood appear blue.

The copper in their blood gives their blood a bluish tint. It is much like how iron in our blood causes our blood to be red.

So this is why their blood is blue.
