So I recently added corals to my DT and noticed my lava lamp shroom and watermelon shroom seems floppy. Is that normal? I don't really mind it, just want to make sure its not something to worry about
Why are my mushrooms "floppy"?

They are fine, they are normally "floppy" as they are softies. Your first picture is exactly how they should look. The 3rd picture with the slight crinkle is either on something under it or in enough flow to make it move like that. Most shrooms like low light and low to mild flow. They stay "floppy" other then when they eat, they will make a cone shape so the food flows down to their mouth. As yours are newer they will flatten out as then get used to your tank provided they are in low flow. Kind of hard to mess them up, they end up growing all over, except the expensive ones for some reason LOL.
For example some of my plain reds. You can see one in the top left corner too. All "floppy"
