Horseshoe crab's blood is blue.
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.
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.

No, penguins do not have blue blood. Penguins, like other birds, have red blood due to the presence of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in their bloodstream. Blue blood is found in animals like horseshoe crabs and some mollusks due to a different type of oxygen-carrying molecule called hemocyanin.
All mammals have bluish blood until it is oxygenated. That's one reason why veins appear blue.
