how big is he? Try something more oily and smelly. Like squid or octopus. If not go get some damsels. No reason to let him starve. My Fimbriated would only eat damsels. It took lots of time to get him to eat frozen. I still give him damsels every few weeks. Just to get any possible nutrients he may be missing out on.

+1 for CK, morays have horrible eye sight so they usually hunt by smelling around, soak some food in a garlic vitamin like GVH garlic soak, and see what happens. also, krill is not the best to feed it and there is better options than silversides too. I feed all my morays clams,squid,octopus,raw shrimp,scallops,etc.
since you haven't had him that long, he may just be on a "hunger strike" which in that case you need to leave him alone because putting food infront of his face only adds stress.
