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.

Haemoglobin is a red pigment in blood that makes the blood red when it comes out into oxygen (that why when we bleed, our blood is red.) some animals do not have haemoglobin in blood, for example LOBSTERS! So this is why their blood is blue.
