How new? Things to consider are, where/how and conditions that it was being kept before. Give it time to acclimate

I think a full week now, I just worry because it looks like it had split before I got it so I am hoping it heals !!

what kind of lights did it come from and what kind do you have? They will take several weeks to acclimate and will move around the tank till they find just the right spot. If you have powerheads running it's best to get foam covers becuase there's a very good chance it will let go of the rock and get blown around the tank. They're like a balloon on a windy day. My first one took about 3 mths to find the right spot and took two trips into the powerheads but luckily the foam covers saved it.

.5 is still a enough to bother the nem, try some phosban, if you dont have a reactor i believe deep blue sells phosphate removal pads.
best of luck

Yes it's pretty high, we don't have excessive algae and everything it's pretty happy but I'll look into getting the reactor
I would say give it some time. Mine looked similar for almost a month. Then slowly it came around.
Don't over feed either. I was so worried about mine I was trying to feed way to much. When I cut back to 1-2 times a week is when it really started opening up.

Fix your phosphates!!! They won't tolerate any, maybe 0.25
I would return that anemone if you can, it does not look like a healthy specimen to me.
The anemone looks like it has not had adequate nutrition aka correct lighting or supplemental feedings for a long time.

I am going to for sure fix my phosphates, since the first post it's actually looking a lot better I just fed it..but I'll post a pic later I have grown attached to it hah it doesn't look like it's going to melt anymore and it found a nice place between some rock
