If you give the fish some live white worms it might bring him back to better health. It's a rich food that butterfly fish love.
Also when you bring the salinity back up, it must be done slowly, no more than 0.03 point per day, so for about 5 to 6 days.

I've got a hospital tank all set up and ready to go. I'll try to catch him tomorrow and get him going in there. Hopefully it'll help relieve some of the stress as well as get rid of the ich. Once he's back to chipper I'll bring the salinity back up and find a new home for him. I don't think there is anyone wanting to take him right now in his current state.
