Clown appears normal as you stated " Chilling". There is a bit of microbubbles from powerhead. Not unusual for clowns to hang in corner and at night head upwards as long as they are eating and breathing normal. Often aggression is associated with this behavior but does not appear to be the case.
When you feed, she should come out of corner for a meal.
Heavy mucus often is associated with white feces as her body mass seems good. If feeding fatty foods such as mysis and even brine shrimp.... may be a contributor. Add TDO Pellets or spectrum pellets in addition to LRS fish frenzy food to diet and you should feces change in color
 
lol I feel like a helicopter parent at this point

I don't see anything alarming in the videos - but always watch your fish closely for "ADR" - "Ain't Doin Right".

Way to often we get posts here where the fish has been sick for days/weeks, and then it's too late to do anything.....
