So how long should it take for the coral to open? It's been in the tank about 25 minutes. I drip acclimated it all.

Good deal on the corals!! When I first put my frogspawn in the tank, it took about a day to fully open up. The mushroom should come around soon.
Is the mushroom a recordia?!!
Looks like a ricordea, a beautiful one! The red does look like coralline but it's hard to tell from a photo. There's lots of types.
The frags look great Jen! It took my frogspawn about 2-3 days until it expanded completely. Give it some time, it's just probably still ticked off about being moved. I like the color of the yellow!
Def a recordia, the red could be a type of chalice maybeif its hard. Does it feel like a coral? (Slimy or maybe soft on top?)
If it's type of plate coralline then the lighter yellow and white edges and ridges would be new growth. You can crush it in a mortar and add the powder back to the tank to seed the rock. If it isn't coralline it still won't hurt to do this.

Ok. So I glued the frogspawn because a crab knocked it into the sand last night. I'm still waiting ever so impatiently for it to fully inflate. I moved the yellow ric lower in the tank into less flow. It looked exactly the same as yesterday and I think it wasn't liking the flow. The green mushroom was more open today.

I glue it into place also, since I had the glue out. I moved the candy cane to the left side of the tank. That side was looking a little bare since the frogspawn and mushrooms are on the right side.
I found a tiny star fish! It's small with 4 stubby legs and 1 or 2 tinier legs. It's white around the edge with a purplish brown back. I can't get a picture but I'll be researching it.
Lol! I was just looking in the tank and Mr Crabs (emerald crab) just threw a hermit crab off of the rock. Meanie! Lol! Oh, also the new zoas show no sign of opening yet. Hopefully they will soon. They ought to be happy... They are right there with my zoo garden.
Blue doesn't hide from me anymore. He comes to the glass and looks at me like I should be feeding him.
Haha. So Blue has figured out that you are the god of food!
