spots on clam

I was planning on buying a clam today from my lfs, but I noticed that the two they had have little white/tannish spots on the mantle. One had around 5 little spots and the other one had two. Is this most likely some type of disease or is it common for clams to have random spots on the mantle?

Without seeing it, there is noway we can tell from your description.

+1, could also be slight tissure damage from a bump or a fish/crab picking at it. If at all possible go see it for a few days in a row..or every other and see if it is getting worse or better. If a bump only takes a few days in my experience to heal..hth
