Well your tank is plenty big enough to grow pretty much any coral you would like. I did it myself for a little over a year. It would be good to start w/ a clown fish, they are hardy and attractive Here is a pic of my old tank that was 13" wide.

People tend to put fish that are good for a reef ( that won't eat the coral) and serve a purpose such as eating algae or flatworms like a lawnmower blenny or a 6 line wrass also don't get many hermit crabs there arent many in the ocean in a space that size but do get some snails perhaps 2 or 3 Turbo's and say 30 + Nassarius they can turn themselves over bury themselves in the sand and last a long time where as Astreas die soon because they can't turn themselves over and die or/and get eaten by hermit crabs.If you want to know what fish get along and wich don't here is a link just for that
