+1 on the iron. I am not sure what Eisen is ...but if it inhances green it might have a lot of iron in it.
The guide to SPS coral coloration reads like this: 1. Yellows - Nitrate and Phospate needs to be low 2. Greens - Iron - overdose tends to cause darkening of tissues 3. Blues and some Purples - Potassium Iodide 4. Reds/Pinks and some Purples - Potassium (not potassium iodide) 5. Purples - Potassium Iodide/Potassium This is just a guide that you can find on the internet. "Guide of SPS Coral Coloration".

Eisen is the German word for iron. Maybe save yourself some money and stop dosing any of that stuff for a week or two. See what happens. If it all turns brown again, slowly start dosing one of those ingredients at a time, if that's safe/feasible. I don't have a lot of SPS so I'm probably out to lunch, but a logical procedure you can document, like starting from scratch with the dosing, would seem like a good way to determine what's going on. None of our systems are identical, so in the end you'll likely end up having to figure this out on your own anyhow.

+1 on the iron, I did have the same problem with eisen zeovit additive, after i stopped dosing iron for a few weeks everything started to change back, but it takes a bit for it to reverse back to the original state. Also I think either k or b balance enhances green but don't quote me on it, please read the label or go to the zeovit forum and post it for one of the zeoheads to figure out. If I were you I would just stop iron and wait a week or so and see if there is any changes, but be patient as it might take a bit for the colors to return. Good luck. Remember at least they are growing like crazy.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I was thinking the same about the eisen (iron) which is why I stopped doing it. It's been about 3 weeks, maybe more, and I see no effect. I will however pick up a test kit and let you know what it says. Thanks again.
