I am unable to positively id these buds online. They are bright green polyps with brownish stems. Bought 3 peppermint shrimps and they wont eat it.

Not aiptasia. look like green button polyps to me. hard to tell from pic.
 
Naw you have what looks like Majano or another pest type anemone. Peppermint shrimp have not eaten them for me either.
 
Mojano Anemones, they can be bad also. Looks like you just have the plain ones, instead of the colored ones, of which some will seperate the rock from the rest of the tank and keep them.

What does that mean? I want them gone because they sting my corals. They cover all of my rock and my corals have had to spread around them.

Some of the more colorful ones, people have kept. You just got the plain janes.
Kill em by injecting them with Lemon Juice or use any of the other Aiptasia killers, they die the same way.
 
Any other input. Still not 100%convinced its majonoes. These have pointy tips. I keep reading the majanoes have bulbous tips.

Whenever I see any Majano anemones in my tanks, I inject TM Elimi-Aiptas directly into the stalk as opposed to into the mouth. I find that the product has a better kill rate when injected into the stalk rather than the mouth.
