This sequence and A229037 and A235265 are winners in the contest held at the 2014 AMS/MAA Joint Mathematics Meetings. - T. D. Noe, Jan 20 2014
Carmichael's theorem implies that 8 and 144 are the only terms of this sequence.
Saha and Karthik conjectured (without reference to Carmichael's theorem) that the only positive integers k for which A001175(k^2) = A001175(k) are 6 and 12. (A000045(6) = 8 and A000045(12) = 144.) - L. Edson Jeffery, Feb 13 2014
Y. Bugeaud, M. Mignotte, and S. Siksek proved that 8 and 144 are the only nontrivial perfect power Fibonacci numbers. - Robert C. Lyons, Dec 23, 2015

EXAMPLE
The Fibonacci number 8 is in the sequence because 8=2*2*2, and 2 is a Fibonacci number that is not equal to 8. The Fibonacci number 144 is in the sequence because 144=3*3*2*2*2*2, and both 2 and 3 are Fibonacci numbers that are not equal to 144.
