What temperature are you keeping your boxfish at? The reason that I ask is that Anoplocapros lenticularis is a temperate species. You are likely aware of this, and temperature may not even be at play here, but in the interest of being thorough... One of the "symptoms" of being kept at elevated temperatures will, among other things, be an increased metabolism. You mentioned that you have been feeding 4X daily, and the fish still has a sunken appearance. There are of course other possibilities (parasitic... etc...), but I thought I'd start with the most obvious :)
