I have seen them from time to time on J&L's website so you might contact them and see if they have any or can get you one. Like Midgetwaiter says - they get big and require a big system and they are not supposed to be an easy fish to keep. Hard to get eating and have the potential to take out your entire fish population if they get stressed.
Maybe try contacting "Stinky" on this board as I believe he has kept them and might be able to share some good information with you.

I know about those guys,I sent an e-mail to J&L about theres and they said it was 3in.Yeah most boxfish get big and nasty but the popcorn boxfish (NOT a yellow box.2 different fish!) will stay under 4in.The other boxfish get to like 10in.

Considering the other forum you were discussing this on (nano-reef) everyone pretty much decided there was no such thing as a popcorn boxfish.
So unless you can come up with a latin name for this "Popcorn boxfish" I doubt anyone can help you find one.

There are a few boxfish species that stay small like that, fish base has 3 or 4 listed. I don't think I've ever seen them in the trade, most of them are sub-tropical or temperate and wouldn't do well in a reef style aquarium. They are more laterally compressed than o. cubicus, kind of like an armored toby.
If you find a small tropical boxfish let me know, I'd love to have one too.
