Does anyone have a link or can supply a definitive list of which wrasses bury in the sand, do the mucus cacoon thing, or some other method?

By family, genus, or species in addtion to common name please... I ask because everyone alway states Fairy Wrasses don't bury themselves but Red Velvet Fairy Wrasses certainly do.

Thanks
 
Halichoeres, macropharyngodon, and anampses species bury. Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus do not bury in the sand, they wrap themselves in a mucus cocoon, tucked in the rocks usually.
