MINECRAFT WATER TEMPLE! Can it spawn buried under sand?

MINECRAFT WATER TEMPLE! Can it spawn buried under sand? - 1

Added (1). We have guardians all of 10 blocks out from our island, our other file with the same seed number has it spawned elsewhere. I don't see it anywhere and all i have found is that guardians should only be with the temple! The reason why I believe it to be buried is because mounds of sand formed in the vicinity but i don't have enchanted armor to find out.

Test it out

I personally have never found one under sand

STOP WRITING IN CAPS NERD

Bass the toaster- i can't i will die lol i'm still getting achievements so i'm not switching to creative mode just to nab armor. Working on the 500 block minecart and then we can go to the end.

henry- i didn't mean to my man had just gotten off WoW and i was too lazy to delete what i had typed. SORRY I'm SUCH A NERD

I believe it wouldn't be a success, to be honest with your question.
