depending on the depth of your tank, I think it would be a reasonable amount of light.

Crocea's and Maxima's are the most light demanding clams.
Here are some links for the same question: 12 g nano tank http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1269797 12 g nano tank http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1256989 10 g nano tank http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1238819 this is all I could find on keeping clams with this light. 2 12g and 1 10g tanks.

Not the best but it will work. 150 watt would be better. Place high and feed with phyto weekly.

In my experiences, ou need at least 150W (preferably 10K or 14K) for adequate growth, however I would recommend 250W or higher for the best coloration and mantle expansion. Ionic balance (Ca/Alk) is just as important.

Also, I never fed any phyto and had excellent success. There may be benefits to dosing phyto, although its been show in studies thats photosynthetic clams rarely utilize anything filtered (unlike non-photosynthetic counterparts). Although, to each their own.
