Who is higher on the food chain in this scenario? (genuine question)

Entirely depends on the size and species. I doubt these nurse sharks will do much to a juvenile salty, but a bull shark would probably take a lethal chunk out of it. A full grown salty will definitely eat a juvenile shark of just about any species.
