Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add 3/4 cup green onions; saute 2 minutes. Add flour; whisk 1 minute. Gradually whisk in clam juice. Boil until mixture thickens, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Whisk in half and half and bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to low. Add both cheeses, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper; stir until cheeses melt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Before continuing, rewarm over low heat, stirring constantly.)

Mix crab, remaining 1/2 cup parsley and remaining 1/4 cup green onions into cheese and stir over medium-low heat to warm through.

Spoon crab dip into bowl. Set bowl in center of large platter. Surround with pita.
