As they live on the bottom of the ocean and usually eat carrion from the rotting corpses and detritus of decomposing matter, they seldom get anylight from the surface. As such, night and day have little or no meaning to them...so, NO they are not nocturnal creatures, they are diurnal.

There are many different kinds of shrimp and
prawns. Despite what one answerer says they do
not all live so deep in the water that no light is
available. In my experience they are more likely
to be nocturnal than diurnal, but I don't know about
tiger prawns specifically. I do know that often their
eyes reflect lights in the dark (usually golden) which is often a sign of nocturnal habits.

Every time we go out to catch prawns, it is always dark, and I have never seen prawns at daylight.
