Also how long does it take for a rose bubble tip to become comfortable and open up visibly on top of the rocks? Its been 3 days now and theyre closed up, I dont know if my 3.8" picasso is picking on them as theyre both very very hidden in spots where he cant get them, temp is 74.1f. Theres a full sprectum lights and a powerhead ammonia is .2, salinity is 1.027

They should already be open, either they arent liking the tank parameters or maybe the trigger is picking on them (havent kept a picasso before so unsure there).
Temperature is too low, if the tank is passed cycling testing ammonia isnt really gonna help you and can confuse you with false readings, salinity is also a tad high but usually if kept constant it is fine. I would up temperature to at least 76-77 and add rodi water to start bringing down the salinity to 1.026.
What lights are you using and what size tank (dimensions)? Are you using rodi water for the tank or tap and conditioner?

What is the name of the lights? Soft corals can handle low light while anemones usually need a stronger light, will depend on the tank height and width as well as how powerful the light is

It grew birds nests and montiporas as well as frogspawn and few aiptasias

Could have been due to how close they were to the light, but unsure without knowing the light. What is the name of the light? It will help to know what it is
Are you using rodi water?
What are the rest of the water parameters as well? Most important would be temp, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, calcium, and alkalinity.
