This was sold to me as a hammer but the tips look my like frogspawn even though none have multiple tips. Thoughts?

Exactly my problem almost feel like it could be any one of the 3 euphyllia species. Regardless I love it, but was just curious what it actually was.
 
I am going to go with Euphillya glabrescens (Torch) as well... Hammer tenacles are hammer shaped on the ends, frogspawn is usually more rounded on the end... the pick you posted shows more of a blunt morphology which is more indicative of a torch
 
Thanks for your input. While watching some BRS videos I saw this on one. In person the coral I have looks identical to this albeit smaller of course.

Most of the frogspawn I have owned have multiple tips on one “tentacle” if you will. I can’t remember any hammers having more than one tip per tentacle. That is usually how I distinguish the two quickly. But others may have different experiences....wwc had something similar during the live sale they called a frammer... looks good either way
