COMMENTS
The only numbers n where a(n)=0 are 1 and 12: a(1) = 1*1 - 1 = 0 and a(12) = 12*12 - 144 = 0. Cohn (1964) proved that 1 and 144 are the only Fibonacci numbers which are perfect squares. In general, for a positive integer k, how many Fibonacci numbers exist such that k = n^2 - (largest Fibonacci number <= n^2)? The only proved answer is 2 for k=0.
