I just got some LED lights that will be 130 par at 12 inches....what kind of corals could I get with that?
 
Did you actually measure the PAR with a PAR meter? 130 is pretty low. Using a Quantum PAR meter, I get 160 at the bottom of my 24" deep 125g tank with the LED's I use. At 12" I get 310.

But to answer your question, you should be good for any soft corals or LPS.
