Not a guru, yes it's possible. I'm keeping 4 clams and my ht specs is similar to yours. But before that you'll need to consider your water parameters and any fishes that will irritate the clams to close up.

can i know possible for crocea also, which is the most light demanding?

yes my parameter are optimal near ULNS

i only have a yellow tang, chromis and percula pair

invert is sand-shifter, perpermint and snailss

All clams are light demanding. So I can't tell you which are the most light demanding. Do note that clams will consume a lot of kh and ca from your tank, improper lvs will greatly affect the life span and health of the clams.

yes possible so long the height of your tank dun exceed 2 feet...

that should be a safe zone...

anything higher than that, MH will be highly recommended.
