Really depends on the depth of your tank, the lights you have, and the coral that you have in mind. But, assuming that you met its requirements, there are plenty of corals that you can put on the sandbed.

Lighting is the biggest factor here. a 6 bulb T5 or MH setup would allow you to accomplish this without a problem. Plate coral would go nicely.

You can put small rocks of zoos, brain corals, flowerpots, and there are several others that can sit down on the sand.
