I think that's right. They're rigid pretty much all over except for their tails and fins.
My solarensis eats pretty much everything, including copious amounts of nori and algae that grows in her tank. I've had her for a couple of years now, and she's about doubled in size. but I think the solarensis have a slightly better track record than other boxfish. I wonder about whether some of the others simply do not get enough of what they need to live long term even if they're taking prepared food.
