the only advice that I have is to move him to a "hosptial" tank, keep his conditions perfect and hope for the best.

if hes curled up sounds like a couple bones are broken or some serious intestinal damage. He WILL die, there is nothing u can do to treat it, he will die of starvation since he cant move. I recommend putting him out of his misery as soon as possible. Sorry to hear about it.
