Sometimes readings that end in a つ, in this case 月, change the last つ to a っ when used in compounds (So long as they aren't the last kanji of course)
I'm not sure if there is a rule to this.
I don't know if there is a name for it so I have never really been able to look it up, that's why I just learn them as they come up.

Another example is 発見【はっけん】
発【はつ】
見【けん】

But if we look at 発 in 発売 for example it is read はつばい
