A Shark.

No way, that shark won't do shit to you. Maybe just look at you a bitty, but no hurting involved there. They're called zebra sharks 'cause when they're little babies, they're actually black and white striped like a zebra, but then turn the golden with black spots color as they mature.
 
Hahaha definitely not a leopard shark. If you'd like physical proof, I'll search for a picture for you. I believe leopard sharks have bars across their backs as opposed to leopard-like spots.
 
Alright, I did a search for leopard shark pictures to get you one, and it is obviously a common mistake to confuse a zebra shark for a leopard, considering most of the images I pulled up saying they were of leopard sharks were actually adult zebra sharks taken by unknowledgable individuals or dive companies.

Here are some pictures:
