I added this Fathead Anthia to DT yesterday. He proceeded to get pounded by a pair of Bimaculatus Anthia. By the time I was able to catch him it had been few hours. I have him in a make shift acclimation area but his health is getting worse and struggling To keep self upright. Should I move him back to QT? Should I medicate?

If he is struggling to keep himself upright and just laying down instead, he most likely won't make it. It's important to examine whether he starts to show signs of infection, if so, you will want to move him out of your DT and into a QT asap.
 
He didn't make. I learned a lesson today. Those BA can be jerks. The Achilles Tang is the tank king but these guys keep everyone in-line.
