You can turn the light to white and blue equal, say 50% each then take the picture. Once you took the picture, I would consider increase white by 10% weekly until you reach 100% on both.
I like crisp white light better then an all blue tank. There are so much more color instead of just the fluorescent color green and yellow.

I originally had the tank at 100% for both but turned down the whites as some toxic hammers started becoming more purple. Read somewhere that it may be due to not enough blues, so I turned down the whites thinking that would help.

Glad the clam is doing better.

Lighting is always the fun of a mixed reef. Very hard to make all things happy.

You may also try the ramp up for the whites and find a happy median somewhere around 70-80% white. It may not be perfect for the hammer or the clam, but may be in the middle for them coloring up accordingly.
