I am obviously new to the reefing game and need some help identifying a coral please. We purchased it from a LFS for $40.

and we were told it's a hammer coral, but looking at other pictures I'm not 100% sure. I thought it might be a frogspawn???, but I'm tired of guessing and would love some help. Thanks in advance.
 
Could you possibly get a clearer photo, this photo's a little too low-resolution to tell
 
Its a hammer, its shriveled up right now likely due to it being new to the tank but nope that's most definitely a hammer. Frogspawns will have tentacles with numerous little ball like objects sticking out of them, those tentacles have one hammer shaped dangley thing

Some of the tentacles look like they have multiple acrospheres, but it's hard to tell with this pjoto
