Has anyone here bought the "common" RFAs from Gulf Coast Ecosystems? What do they look like in your tank? Do you have any pictures to share?
 
I have not ordered these from this company. @Ron Reefman may have some helpful thoughts. I expect that these will be the more generic green and brown-ish coloring without the crazy colors of the "ultras" that are often seen for sale in the hobby. The thing that I find interesting about this style of RFAs is what they lack in colors, they can sometimes make up for with interesting patterns (not always). If you do place the order, I would be interested to hear how it turns out.
 
I have ordered from this vendor.
Typically the "regular" rock flower anemones are tan or beige with white accents on the tentacles and a purple mouth. As mentioned above, these anemones tend to have very interesting physical traits. Frilly tentacles, etc.
They also tend to be much larger.

The ultra rock nems are generally collected from deeper water, and tend to be on the small size.
I have never seen an ultra colored nem in less than 30 feet of water. The tan ones can be found in inches of water in seagrass beds..
