Just got this bulb anemone in the mail today for LiveAquaria.
Was doing fine in the tank for a few hours. Opened up and moved itself around the rock. But now it’s closed and looks like this.

I wouldn't worry about it unless it looks bad like that for 3 or 4 days. But my main concern is that your tank looks too new to support an anemone...
 
If it does not improve in the next day or two, I would find someone with an established tank to take care of it for you for 6-9 months until your tank becomes established. There is a big difference between cycled and established. Tanks take much longer to become established when set up with dry rock.
Anemones do not due well in a new tank especially one set up with dry rock. Anemones like nitrates in the water as food source.
 
Giving you tank parameters might help, but I am pretty sure your tank is just too new based on your photos.

I agree with this assessment. Know any other reefer with an established tank that can keep it for a few months for you? Otherwise it's not likely to survive
