Answer:

Copper-containing proteins called hemocyanins occur notably in the blood of larger crustaceans and of gastropod and cephalopod mollusks. Hemocyanins are colourless in the reduced, or deoxygenated, state and blue when exposed to air or to oxygen dissolved in the blood.

Answer:

This can 'bind' to oxygen, giving red blood cells their oxygen transporting ability. ... Crustaceans, spiders, squid, octopuses, and some molluscs all have blue blood as a result of having a different respiratory pigment. Rather than haemoglobin, these creatures use a protein called haemocyanin to transport oxygen.
