The mushrooms are going to take some work unless they have any small pieces of rock or sand attached to their foot.  If they do, you can super glue them (any super glue that is cyanoacrylate will work) to whatever you want that's safe to be in your reef.  Same with the alien eye.

If the shrooms don't have any rock or sand on their foot, you need to get some there.  This will take days to weeks, so the trick is to keep them in place, and not floating around your tank and getting lost, for this to happen.  I like to take a little plastic cup with lid and put some sand in it, and the mushroom, and then poke a few holes in the lid and drop in on a low flow area of the tank.  Eventually it'll grab something and you can glue that to whatever you want

Great explanation.

I was able to put the larger one on frag plug and can actually see the coral frag.....the second really really tiny one ...it was just a guess if I was gluing right side.... I think I can see it but will have to wait and see....chalk it up to learning experience
