    Tank pmt: 240 lt. - 25 C - pH:8.2 - kH: between 6-8 - Nh3/4:0- Nh2:0,02 - Nh3:1 - Salinity:35 ppt, no issues with any other stock.

    Light pmt: 2x39 W T5 with DIY LED

    Positioning: in the middle of 40 cm total water height

    Any help would be appriciated...

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Welcome to 3reef.

    In my chemistry befuddled mind, a NH3 (ammonia) with the values listed in your post seem incorrect or else you have an issue.

    I have seen and read others have this hyper inflation with chronic elevated magnesium.

    It is very odd looking, almost looks more like a mushroom or ricordia of some sort rather than a blasto, you can barely make out the blasto.
