No, they don't need to eat at night, they ambush very well with their camofluge in the day. Ghost shrimp gutloaded with a high a quality flake/pellet food would be awesome. Stay away from the krill. Do a google with "Marini+krill" and "Jedlicki+krill", it's not the best food for him.
Do you know if he was eating before you got him?
What kind and what size lionfish is he?

Get some ghosties for sure. There are some that never convert, but with time, patience and persistence they usually come around.
But stay away from the freeze-dried krill IMO and use the frozen in moderation if you feel you must. I eliminated it from the preds diets all together.

Everything else. Variety is the key. Dried krill has semi- recently been linked to lock-jaw in puffers. I'm not sure were the studies are right now in their progression.
Thanks for the help
