Is it possible for the rbta to have its mouth open from acclimating? Or from the clownfish that it's hosting? It's been in there for 4 days
 
open mouth means its stressed. The only other time their mouths should be open is when food is going in, or on its way out. Have y checked your parameters? Maybe try a water change to see if things get better
 
So my RBTA is loosing color and bubbles. All parameters are good. Here is a video of it one day and the next day:

Any idea what is happening? My first RBTA

Lighting: 4 x 54W T5 (10,000K x 2 & 2 36W 20kK LED spots), 65 gallon tank, chiller, Vortech, 2 X HOB skimmers no sump, 15%/Week WC.

How long have you had it for?
 
Only had it about a week and has gone flat and back to bubble then lost bubble and color but seems healthy

People told me that the bubble tips sometimes does that. I don't know about the color though
