So my hammer is glued to a big rock...
One of my Baby Rainbow Bubble Tips moved on to the rock...
Looks like the hammer and the bubble tip stung each other...
The Hammer has retracted on that one head but the bubble tip has also retracted tight into the hole...
Hopefully the bubble tip moves, i tried moving it with my hand but its in there good..
The Hammer head looks like its opening again...

anemone will eventually kill any coral it touches, in my experience at least

Also the anemone will not just move, if its found its happy spot its there to stay. Always move the coral, forcefully removing an anemone is no no, can damage the foot and cause death

Looks like the hammer put the nem in check ?
Either way all is good for now, its a baby split off one of my smaller rainbow bubble tips

Although hammers are known for a relatively potent sting, anemones are as well. Eventually one of them will lose; it's just a matter of time. I agree with acolotto above, if you can pry the hammer off the rock and move it elsewhere I would do that. Hopefully the glue is brittle and will easily let you move the coral.
