I believe the first pictures is taken when the fish is opening its mouth(like yawning), that is why it look weird, else base on its colouration, it should be a very beautiful fish.

Wow, the fish featured in the first photo look great.

It all depend on your tank vol.

If you want to keep anthias in a school...then it would be best to avoid other fishes. Either they eat the food first or if they are timid, the more aggressive will eat first.

Trained the anthias to feed 'off your hand' so as to avoid throwing extra food into the water. That would cut down the amount of nutrient you dump into the tank.

Having a very efficient skimmer also help.
