I was given one of these anemones I've read good and bad things about them.
Are they safe with fish and coral?
How hard are they to keep?

On a scale of 1-10, BTA's are 5's, Rock Anemones 6's, Sebaes are 3's.
How hard they are to keep depends on the condition you receive it. Sebae's ship terribly and almost always bleach very quickly. The fact you got yours from a fellow aquarist could help it's chances (unless he wants it to die in your tank instead). Is yours mostly white, or a deeper brown/purple color?
They're not really fish eaters the way carpet anemones are, and they don't move around a ton like BTA's.

i just got an anemone too and i would like to split it a month or so down the road because it is freakin huge this is a show size sebea that is about 18in when it is all drawn up so my guess is that when it is stretched out it would be about twice that big but i haven't read anything about anyone splitting them and i haven't seen like a mouth on it yet so i dont know what to do

i dont think you can frag an anemone, i think you just gotta let it go by itself.
i had a sebae anemone, never once put its foot stuck, moved constantly. my clowns took to it, was only good thing about it, it then moved to underneath a rock where there was no light and therefore died.
dont let me put you off tho, i think mine was just weird!

I've only seen one mouth, he placed his foot deep into the sand between a rock and the glass.
The clowns swim around him but he's not hosting them yet.
