That looks VERY serious. Lesions right there tend to involve the skull because the skin is so thin there. Is the eye evolved also? Tough to see because the picture is too blue.

Do you have a hospital tank? You could move the anthias and dose with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic like kanamycin or neomycin.

Lesion or injury which may not heal over
Broad spectrum treatment is the only hope- seachem neoplex

Don’t really have a hospital tank, honestly think it’s a bit too late I was out of town for the week and this wasn’t here when I left. Hopefully can see this a bit more clearly

I would say if you don’t have a hospital tank give it to the lfs to see if they can save it

Read online that activated carbon could cause this? Not 100% sure if that’s true but just removed mine and gonna see if it has any recovery

That injury is not from running carbon.

That poor fish looks like it swam into or got stuck in a wavemaker or something. yikes.

a dedicated QT tank to treat with appropriate meds is definitely the way to go.

No, carbon causes head and lateral line erosion (HLLE). This isn’t that issue. I published one of two studies that showed that carbon causes HLLE, but this is a bacterial infection I’m afraid…..
