I three Anthias yesterday from Divers Den. Yesterday I noticed a white spot on the v of the tail fin, I had also watched my Wrasse nip at the same part of the fish early in the day. Today the spot is more of a larger blotch and I can see some tiny tissue strands.

I fear Whitespot but can’t be sure as it might be from the bite. Anything else I should look for ?

I’m going to say it is most likely not ich and more likely just damaged but you gotta post pics with these things
 
Looks like cotton wool maybe.

This I have done. I turned the temp up to 79f - I have been soaking everything in Garlic and feeding Brine Shrimp with Algae in it. The fish is eating like a champ but is hiding from time to time more than the others.
 
Looks like lymphocytis which is a viral infection. Usually will heal on its own with good water quality and diet
