I have an angelfish that has very damaged fins(caused by a supposedly docile fish that is being returned to LFS). His feeler fins, which were about an inch and a half long, are now maybe a third of an inch long, and his top and bottom fins are also similarly clipped along with his tail fin.

Will his fins grow back to normal if no other aggressive fish are in the tank with him?

And is there anything I can do to help him heal?
 
They will heal, yes. Make sure that you keep the water extra clean to help keep the wounds themselves clean. I would add some melafix and/or Maracyn Plus or other similar broad-spectrum antibiotics. Other than that, make him happy and feed him lots of nutritious foods to help keep him healthy and his immune system up.

Good luck:)
