You're referring to Ginglymostoma cirratum, not? I thinked in that since I saw the shark... but the branchlets looks different.
 
Nurse sharks are much bigger then this one, I would say it is a kind of bambooshark, possibly the arabian carpet shark.
 
I don`t think this is Nurse Shark,like Lintworm said it could be an Arabian Carpet Shark,its certainly one of that family!!
 
late to the debate I know, but its definitely NOT a nurse shark. As a couple of others have said, it is a bambooshark. It may be the Arabian bambooshark Chiloscyllium arabicum, or perhaps more likely the brown-banded bambooshark (aka banded catshark) Chiloscyllium punctatum - note that the adult of this latter species is radically different in appearance from the strikingly-banded juveniles
