I want to add a extra unique class in body tag so that it will come only for the anonymous user.
How to add it?

The proper way to do this is in a preprocess hook:
function MYTHEME_preprocess_html(&$vars) {
if (user_is_anonymous()) {
$vars['classes_array'][] = 'foo-class';
}
}
Don't try to make this decision in a template file, you'll find it doesn't work properly when you have caching enabled. Or it'll break your caching entirely for the page.

1In fact, core already uses this exact method in
template_preprocess_htmland either addslogged-inornot-logged-in, so a class should already be there. – mpdonadio♦ Oct 14 '15 at 15:23 -
Yep you're spot on @MPD, I just checked a few sites and they all have that class. Probably worth an answer actually – Clive♦ Oct 14 '15 at 15:25

Core already does this for you. If you examine includes/theme.inc, you will find the implementation for template_preprocess_html() which is run by default before module and theme specific versions. In it is this code blip
function template_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
// ...
$variables['classes_array'][] = $variables['logged_in'] ? 'logged-in' : 'not-logged-in';
// ...
}
So, there are already body classes, logged-in and not-logged-in, added for you. If those classes is not there, something is altering the $variables['classes_array'] in a naughty way.
