How do you tell where a regal angel is from? I just picked up this guy from my LFS - was eating like a beast in the store, and I just could not resist. here it is in QT just after acclimation. any thoughts on which location it is from?

You can't tell easily where it came from precisely, only which subspecies it belongs to and therefore which general region it cam from.
Yours is a blue-gray chest regal. Their range is from Indonesia throughout the whole west Pacific.
The yellow chest regals come from the Indian Ocean with Sumatra and the Christmas island being their most eastern range.
