what methods have you tried with the silversides?
and how big are they compared to him? if they're too big he'll just ignore them until he gets bigger.
if they're small enough you could try dangling them to keep them mid-tank rather than just letting them fall to the bottom. might give him more time to become interested.
if he's new.. it just might be a little while before he gets interested in a new type of food. You could try also soaking the krill in garlic as well, then when the silversides are added and smell the same it might arouse his interest. just a thought.

For your puffer you can place a Crab leg in a Nori clip & let it munch, this will also help keep those teeth down.

That looks like a puffer that I own as well. I can see your puffer also gets the gravel stuck to him making it look like he has a milk mustache.

He looks just like my Starry Puffer. They appear to be twins.

That Starry Puffer looks like the one I have in my 30 gallon tank with a Volitan Lionfish and Turbo Snail. They are adorable! Especially when they have sand stuck to their mouth making it look like they have a milk mustache!
