Yes... I always prefer a strobe, unless there is a reason not to use it... really brings out the color!

Nice close-ups!

FWIW, #3 is actually some type of Sharptail Eel or a (black-spotted) Snake Eel. Only seen one of those, as opposed to gold- and white-spotted Sharptails, which are pretty common in Aruba.

Thanks! Yes... I believe that is a Tiger Snake eel... I just grouped it with the others for convenience! They are gorgeous specimens! They are pretty common in PV area, Must have seen a dozen different eels of this particular type.
 
nice.
 
Did you shoot those in Macro? Been thinking about upgrading to the DC1400, mainly for the optical zoom and and a few other additional options, and if the Macro-setting works that well, that would be a big plus.

I must have missed this... sorry I haven't replied! No.. I didn't use Macro mode for these... although I do have some Nudibranch shots where I used macro. Here are some of the shots.. Flickr: CGipson Photography's Photostream
