It happens... The Host anemone species of percula are Heteractis crispa, Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla gigantea.
I'm guessing that you have an Entacmaea quadricolor? The fish might never associate with it, because it's not a natural host for it.
From my experience, wild caught fishes are more prone to associate. Do you know if yours are tank bred or wild? Also, some say that the size of the fish has something to do with it, but I don't know about that.

I don't find any issues with my ocellaris associating with my bubble tips, but he's, natural hosts are a better bet. Just give them time, they will prob find their way into it. My clowns lived in my Xenia for a while before finding the rose bta I had in the tank.

Have patience. You can't force them to do it, and some might not ever. But given time, a lot do.

I use to maybe think that WC clowns were more likely to host then Captive bred clowns.... but that was until I have every 40DPH juvenile A. Percularis clown associating in one BTA.
Give him time, it is not his natural host (assuming its a BTA) but if he wants to associate with it he will eventually.
rapide is right about the natural hosts (although I have never seen a picture of a percula associating with Crispas in the wild, it is said to be a natural host).
