Help us help you: use white light for identification.

Background information helps. Consider starting a tank thread with details like:
Where did live rock come from?
How long cycled?
Live stock in tank?

Good morning and welcome to the reef! I agree with @Subsea that clear photos under whites will help us to make / confirm an accurate ID.

Have you noticed any webs or strands coming from the tube of the suspected vermatid? Any polyp irritation or retraction on the hammer?

It is a vermatid snail. It is a common hitchhiker on most wild collected corals. Looking at the skeleton of your hammer, it was an older colony. They can irritate corals and are pretty easy to remove. You just snap the tube with your finger or use a pair of tweezers. Put a small dab of superglue over the remaining tube focusing on plugging the tube.
