I was suggest turning up the heat mid 80's, add salt and maybe melafix.

+1 on this,
If he is beat up really bad then get the Melafix for sure.
 
yeah i just bought a white pearl flowerhorn for 250 and it got beat up the same day, i'm using salt and melafix and pimafix and i already see healing the very next day, hopefully he will get better, does anyone know if his fins will heal back? i would like to post pictures too but i'm new to this and i dont know how, can someone pm me and tell me how? i got really nice fish including two top quality flowerhorns and kipili blue frontosas. thanks!
 
He looks really rough. Use API aquarium salt and melafix. He will probably start to grow a fungus before too long on his fins and body so the sooner you can treat the better.

I have healed flowerhorns that were like that and even one that was much worse. They healed back to 100% in body and fins. Keep the water very clean, 25-30% water changes every 2-3 days. Use API aquarium salt and small amounts of melafix. Feed quality pellet and frozen bloodworms. He should be completely healed in 10-14 days.
