Live rock..well, the coraline algea wouldnt really grow IMO..and if by live organisms you mean the beneficial bacteria..no it wouldnt die, since it doesnt not require light to live.

The damsel would probably beat the crap out of the clown in that small of a tank. Damsels get more aggressive as they grow old., 2 blennies would fight in a tank that small..I wouldnt go with that fish selection..

Who told you that so i can hang him/her..thats absolutely ridiculous..only photosynthetic animals need light..hence photosynthetic..crabs are scavengers, snails detrivores

no meds if you do everything correctly. use use RO water instead of tap..you dont need to worry about calcium since you dont have any corals..
