As far as the Rev's OP question, I'm rather partial to the Rock Anemones, especially when there is a nice large carpet of them with a wide range of colors.

Mines just your “standard” RBTA but I think it’s absolutely stunning! Second photo is another regular old RBTA but I love how different they look.

Edit: wow sorry for the quality!! Not sure what happened..

Oh, but I do love a pretty RFA as well. This is my favorite that I have.

Hoping to get the Colorado someday but until then I’m super happy with my green Bta and Black widow

I love them so much and have always had one in my reef that when I got a steal on a 60 cube I decided to make an anemone cube. I have not added clown fish yet, but plan on adding 11 orange skunks.

I do like how they look yes, but the reason I don't want to have supper cool one is they just crawl around until they find them best spot, which I'm seen few never done it and keep moving.
I do like, friend of mine have over 60 BTA (mainly the regular red BTA) any sizes..., and I don't like when I have to stick my hands in his tank and they sting me ... isn't cool feeling :(
Have 2 sand green one and BTA (small), but they in a box and aren't going out..., and my clownfish don't want to go on them at all.

10+ year old "mother" I think she was an RBTA, bottom of picture is a quarter for reference! Not exaggerating I would guess oral disk is 15+ " not including the tentacles.
Next photo is what over 3 feet of stinging looks like, all from 1 nem on 1 rock. Seriously
Last are my Rainbow bubble hitch hikers. Hitched in and keep splitting!
(Photos were at 6:30pm ish. Sorry I didn't go full LFS pure blues for you all...)

Everyone knows that one person who is an exception to the rule... YOU WONT BE THAT PERSON! My nems are well into $X,000 of coral killed. You can try to change Flow, feeding, lighting... they do what they want.

My favorite anemone! I can get one but I'm afraid of it eating my fish!!
For what it's worth, I've had this one in the tank for a little over three years and it hasn't eaten a single fish. It will however host my Chromis.:)
