Even though this is an April Fools joke I'd still love to see playable Horta's in the game, honestly.
I read a novel once with a Horta serving as an officer.
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid." - Q
They could always make half (insert humanoid species here)/half Horta's, so they'd have a body... course the Half Horta's humanoid parents would have been in for a 'hot time'...
In all honesty because Horta have made it in to the novels as Starfleet personnel, I think a special purple Horta DOff would be cool. Maybe as a geologist? I dunno. Sure it wouldn't be incredibly useful but it would be interesting fluff, and fluff has its own charm.
Darn, I was hoping for an Unliberated Borg. You know, no matter why you try to do, the thing has a mind of its own and goes about assimilating everything in view and ignoring all of your own wishes.
Oh, well, I'll have to spec out a horta and see how it goes. Anyone else think that a miner/crafter would be perfect for this?
Oh, and there are DOFF hortas-check your fleet dilithium station.
We’re pleased to announce the arrival of our latest unlockable species: the Horta! Too long has their rocky past kept the Horta at the foot of the galactic table!
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

Just so you know... I use a Re-Species Token every Winter Event to make my captain into a Horta.
Heh. I've done that - ticked off Q until he turned one of my captains into a Horta, and then run around for awhile. It's lots of fun!
Brilliant April Fools' Day gag! Now please give us an account-wide unlock Eisilum Crystal Horta combat pet, to match the Polytrinic Acid one from a couple of years back, so we can collect the whole set! Pretty please?
