i was hoping someone could help me figure out why my rendered image doesnt render what the viewport sees. the first image is of the viewport and the second is the actual rendered image. any idea whats wrong?

viewport render cycles render

full screenshot:enter image description here i did change a few settings on the material but they really just changed the shape of the crystal spikey things. thats why it looks different in the 3rd image
