Conjecture: if a term k is a perfect square > 1, then sqrt(k) is in the sequence A236068 (Primes p such that f(f(p)) is prime, where f(z) = z^2 + 1).
The conjecture is false. A counterexample is 296147^2 = 87703045609 where 296147 = 47 * 6301. - Robert Israel, Mar 05 2024
The primes of the sequence are in A157468.
All terms except 1 are congruent to 3, 5 or 9 (mod 10). - Robert Israel, Mar 05 2024

EXAMPLE
909 is in the sequence because 909 = 3^2*101 with 3 decompositions:
909 = 1*909 and (1+909)^2+1 = 910^2+1 = 828101 is prime;
909 = 3*303 and (3+303)^2+1 = 306^2+1 = 93637 is prime;
909 = 9*101 and (9+101)^2+1 = 110^2+1 = 12101 is prime.
