There is some type of branch like tissues on the underside of my blasto frag. They are not hard and don’t appear to move when I touch them. They are transparent in color

Looks like some kind of sponge, but they usually die when they're exposed to air so you probably don't have to worry about it any longer. What does it look like in the tank?

Most likely some kind of sponge, do you see a valve?

mesentrial filaments and often associated with this type coral. Place frag is a small container of tank water and either scrape off (with paring knife) of brush off with a firm toothbrush and return to tank
