Sounds like it could be a parasite introduced with the anthias. Maybe velvet or broklynella.
Watch your fish closely and if they start to develop the same thing as the anthias, then treat them in a quarantine. Either velvet or brooklynella are both very fast killer and the treatment is different for both. Cupramine for the velvet and formaline or Seachem Paraguard for brooklynella.
If they are scratching and flashing, it is probably a parasite and if it is not ich, then it is something else. Unfortunately that rise the probability of your fish having velvet or brook.

I did put a bit of Kanaplex for the female anthias ,however other then that ,nothing.
Also no bio-pellets.
