Anyone get the letter from them today about pinched mantle? It seems they have sent some clams to a lab to try to find the cause and cure for PM disease. Seems pretty interesting. Here's the letter with a link for those that didn't get it.

As most of us are aware that have been keeping clams for awhile the term,
"Pinched Mantle" so ClamsDirect has hired a Marine Aquatic Lab to help us ID the
problem and possible come up with a course of treatment.
This past year, ClamsDirect had stepped up to the plate and have found out that
this is most likely protozoan but need to ID. We have shipped health clams as
well as infected ones to this lab for testing and have paid for cultures sample
and 3 histo slides and histopathology. More research and DNA is needed but
ClamsDirect does not have much more money in the budget to continue so please
take the time to read this thread on our support forum.
