I think it's frogspawn. Hammer usually has the elongated hammer shape at the end of each tentacle, wheras frogspawn has circular tips and often splits toward the end of the tentacle...the pic looks like it's doing that.
FWIW,
Mariner

It was actually sold to me by mistake as a green torch.Im new at this and thought it looked different than the green torch I had seen. I know they would take it back but I think I will just keep it and keep looking for green torch.

Its a Frog. The tips of hammer corals will have a single hammer head shape at the end of each tentacle. A Torch will have one single white ball at the tips of each tentacle. The frogs will have multiply white balls on each tentacle. Like yours is starting to do.

I have a hammer in my tank that had very elongated heads on it when I put it in there but over time they shrunk up and now it looks just like a frogspawn? Anyone else have that happen?
