Anyone know if my softies can all be acclimated and dipped together? or will chemical warfare ensue?
 
Your best bet is to separate by species, at least. Dipping is a stressful process for most corals; adding any kind of additional chemical burn into the mix would just lessen the chances of a healthy outcome.

Another option is to dip all the "nonaggressive" species first, then do the toxic ones with new batches of dip.

Cool. Thank you. I will just check their ID cards when they get here. It was a couple softie packs...
