Would love to have Anthias, but don't have the time for there high maintenance needs.
They need fed multiple times a day. There's nothing that says you need to feed them multiple times a day.
An auto-feeder is the solution for anthias. Preferably an Avast Plank if you can stomach the cost of it. Personally, I think it was the best purchase I've ever made for my tank. I've kept my lyretail anthias alive for several years, fat and happy. You can use freeze-dried food with it instead of just pellets, so you don't get the nutrient spikes you get with pellets in an autofeeder (or at least, not to the same extent). In my opinion, well worth the money.
I feed a blend of BRS freeze-dried foods (mysis, calanus, copepod, rotifers, golden pearls, plankton), TDO Chroma Boost, seaweed pellets, Coral Frenzy, Benepets and EasySPS. The fish absolutely love it, and the corals also seem to respond well.
