Is there a certain type of clam that doesn't require as much lighting as the rest? How much lighting am i going to need? I have a 75g. What is the best type of clam?

I would up upgrade to two 250 at least. that way you can keep just about all species. put the croceas up top.

Squamosas and Derasas can be kept under lower light. Maximas and Croceas will need at least 250 watt halides. You will need more light even for a Squamosa or Derasa.
