You can keep them all if you keep your parameters stable, but I say get them all!!!
Give torches some room for their longer tentacles though.

Although I am considering all 3

I would go with frogspawn and hammer. The torch is more aggressive. also if you want to give them room to grow then i wouldn't get the torch, not that it won't grow, but if it does it is just another thing to look after. I had a large single head of hammer which looked awesome, and then it died, but a bunch of little heads grew out of the base--which are still alive. my frogspawn has been alive for years and has grown slowly but consistently. the growth obviously depends on the parameters. I personally love these lps. they are low maintenance as far as feeding. Overall i just haven't had a lot of luck with torches, but that's just my experience. good luck either way!
I also have t-5 lights they look good in that light.

I totally agree on the aggressiveness of Torch corals. They are beautiful but need more room. Hammers can be a bit aggressive but not nearly as bad. Frogspawn are definitely the least aggressive IME.
Here's a pic of my current favorite Frogspawn we picked up earlier this year.

Here's my hammer - I love the unique color. I also have a one-head frag of frogspawn that's really pretty.
Teal what is yours I know green but is the the metallic green or just green. I have seen them listed on sights both ways
Thanks for all the pictures I LOVE THEM

Here is my small volleyball size branching frogspawn. It was grown 2-3 times original size in a year or so on T5 lighting.

My opinion would be the frogspawn or hammer over the torch. Just personal preference but I think they look a little nicer. Eventually having all three would be ideal for an LPS dominated tank IMO.

i have all three and they are beautiful. If i had to pick one it would be the hammers. Not agressive grow fast and wonderful to watch

I bought 1 head of hammer 2 years ago and am still trying to find out what it is. I think it's a hybrid personally. I looks like frog because it grows tentacles on other tentacles and the ends are mostly, but some are more oblong shaped like hammer. It's really cool. My favorite in my tank. Sorry, I don't have pics for you!

All 3 is what I'd recommend, especially if you can get your hands on some Todds Torch. I have all 3 but I've always just had so-so luck with torch. I can grow SPS like crazy and almost anything else but my Torch always looks kinda crappy. Just give em room.

Torch is the only coral that I've had die. I got it online with some other corals, but after I've days it pooped out on me. The only coral to ever croak on me, weird.
Here's a couple frogs
Torch
Hammer
I like torches and I will try again but I will get one locally and a different color. I really like all of them. Good luck!

Oops, my post was supposed to say the torch died after 5 days.
