I wasn't sure that any question was asked...

I've kept a branching horn coral for many 5+ years now. I've not found it to be particularly sensitive. I can attest to it's aggressive defences, though.

I had one outbreak of RTN that I caused by introducing a stag frag that was already dieing. As soon as I saw the horn coral beginning to show sign of RTN, it was completely fragged/dipped and transferred to the new tank in about 5 pieces. Since then all the pieces are doing fine.
