Purchased this on the internet as a purple hammer coral, but I am not positive this is a hammer!
 
I guess it's hard to tell, but my understanding is a hammer only has 1 head per tentacle! This one has more then one on some if it's tentacles!
 
It's the shape you look for. Frogies tips are perfect circles, hammers tips are more of a ( shape. You have a hammer in the picture. The more than 1 tip per tentacle is how you tell between torch and frogspawn
 
ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1393207006.359120.jpg so this is a hammer as well? Was told when I bought it that it was a frog spawn!
 
Ya that looks like a hammer to me
