Garlic... maybe. Fish love that stuff.

Mine was a royal PITA to feed.
After several long weeks of attempting silversides, mysis & brine shrimp I gave in & fed him a variety of different live fresh water shrimp & ghost shrimp. I fed the shrimp on selcon & garlic soaked foods for added nutrition. As & when I could get it, I also fed live brine shrimp, which were also gut loaded with selcon beforehand. The frogfish eventually got used to associating brine shrimp as a tasty treat & would occasionally eat that too when I fed the other fish in the tank. He only ever ate silversides about 2 times in 2 years. Feeding this thing has cost me a small fortune!   .

Mine eats only the head of the silversides and they have to be on the smaller side. I also soak it in garlic guard and feed with long metal tweezers.

frogs eating frozen
they can be a real pain especially when they are small but it can be done
imo mollies are a better alternative to ghost shrimp, and super easy to breed

One of my past lionfish was a real PITA to get to eat frozen in the beginning. What worked for me is I would feed it live guppies at first bathed in garlic and selcon and then I'd kill the guppies and impale them on a thin length of wire and move them around in the tank as if they were alive. Once the lion would eat those I traded the guppies for small silversides. The whole time I didn't feed it very much or very often to keep it quite hungry. I really didn't enjoy the whole process but within a month it did work and I had the lion eating both frozen silversides and krill.
