Sanjay,
perhaps more dither fish would help? A school of green chromis or something to distract the anthias... or some other wrasses to keep the wrasses diffused.
Kind of reminds me of keeping Tanganyikan African Cichlids where every species is more deadly to its own kind than other species... sometimes more space can be more of a problem: There are two ways to do it, one, is to keep the fish matched up well and give enough space to everything... pretty much what most people do with their reefs. This does allow for breeding and faster growth. The other way is to overcrowd. It sounds bad, but it really works well. The idea is to have such a flock and mix of various species in the tank that no one fish can be singled out, and no one fish can bully the entire tank. Fish cant set up territories to defend as easy, and wear themselves out faster if they do.
Maybe you need more fish. You see some of these tanks sometimes with a whole flock of tangs with 12 different species and they all seem to get along, or 6 types of anthias, and 6 types of wrasse. Maybe you need to crowd them more. The only other thing i can see is to start manipulating their territories, but what would that be exactly since you are pretty much sporting a bunch of rock pillars, not caves and such?
