Just use the typical acclimation procedure. Here's some good info for you on how to do it.

The first thing you need to do is call the company that you bought them from and tell them what happened.

After that the best thing you can do after acclimating the temp is to place them in a bucket and start adding about a shot glass of water every 10 minutes or so. A lot of people recommend the drip method but I'm not all that familiar with that method. Just keep that up until your ph and salinity are the same between the tank and the bucket with the mushrooms.

What kind of corals are / were they? Is the water discolored? Does the water smell? Acclimate them slowly and discard the shipping water. Be sure to complain to the company you bought them from.
